A long time since my last post but nonetheless, I'm back with a post on my favorite pastime: football. This world cup was a bit dull vs the Euro or even last world cup but still had enough to stretch it to 26 alphabets. So here goes... A - Africa The host continent and the first time the World Cup was being held here. There was a lot of hope as far as the performance of the 5 African Nations

Firstly, I'm not into politics, I don't like the concept largely due to what I have seen of it on/off screen, but I had to write about this because its something that made me think. The President of the US made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.Barack Obama is a very refined character, I like the way the man carries himself , one may argue that being a President he is expected

Well many times when i think about it, it seems I've hit my a writer's block(its just a lame excuse) or to put it in a better way a blogger's block. But actually I'm just not sure myself. I think there are just 2 possibilities:One could be the fact that life has taken a super-unexpected twist for the worst and i'm just left reelin under its effects, the other could be the fact the life has gone

The tantalising trio of Kailash Kher, Naresh and Paresh Kamath are back with their third offering Chaandan Mein (which means over the moon ). Their previous offerings, both Kailasa and Jhoomo Re have set the bar pretty high for the trio, but this album does very well to match that though i doubt if it betters it. They have enjoyed success through some really great tracks like the emotional Teri

Well initially I thought it was one of those rumors that periodically circle the net,but unfortunately its true.Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, the man with the Moonwalk has passed awayat 50. I'm not a die hard MJ fan but trust me, we all grew up listening to Thriller, Beat it, Smooth Criminal, Black or White and I guess we all took a shot at the "moonwalk" ourselves.

I have a habit of drawing parallels between cricket and football. They do tend to go in similar directions.For starters, both games were originally started by England but they have made no significant contribution to the sport after that.Secondly, both boast of money spinning crowd pulling leagues other than the competitions that take place at an international level. Well the EPL/BPL (English/

Past few days Europe or may be the entire footballing has been rocked by a phenomenon called Manchester City, Abu Dhabi Group(ADG) . The reason.......they bid 107mn pounds for another phenomenon called Kaka. Kaka, last year's Player of the Year (both UEFA and FIFA) definitely is worth a big amount of money. One look at him on the field you know he's class, secondly he's Brazilian (that's as good

I don’t know what the significance of this event is, its not a big deal to be very honest.Its almost been a month since the unfortunate event took place.People praise Mumbai’s never say die spirit, and it makes for good reading.

Mood Indigo - A name that needs no introduction, probably one of the biggest college events coming from IIT Mumbai ,one of the best in India and the world.I had the pleasure of attending an event 2 years back, Livewire.

Finally, the wait ends. I have laid my hands on my new laptop. Its a HP-Pavillion -Dv2000. Well its something that i have been waiting for a long time.

Once a floppy would suffice but now even a DVD seems to not fit

"Thriller" ........does that ring a bell somewhere........If not then it is the album my Michael Jackson which turns 25 today........but i am not here to talk about the album or the artist.......well what im concerned more about is the fact that that albums that release now, will any of these ever be mentioned even 10 years from now. Because even now thriller is an album worshiped by many for its

Time......................again???????i dont know why........but i seem to be a past-master or something, i just keep goin back in time and just can seem to get out. So i guess "time" will be a recurrent theme as far as my blogs are concerned.I am a past person probably..........i don't mind living in my past mistakes or even in the glory of the past. I once told someone that i don't believe in
